hey guys. I wanted to tell you about the show last weekend. friday night was the drags, and sad to say that I was the only slant 6 out that night. the first time run was bad 10.70 @ 68.50 mph but I spun thru 1st and a little in 2nd. 2nd run was better 10.17 still spinning off the line,3rd was 9.97 I lowered the air pressure to 25lbs in the rear tires. so I put 9.96 for my dail in and ran my best time ever 9.82 with a 2.07 60ft time, but only 67 mph. I think the car was leaning out a touch.

On saturday there were tons of cars, about 10 slant 6's. one of the slanted cars won a celeb. choice award ( go greg)I did get to meet some guys that knew my car from the web site(which was cool)and got a lot of funny looks from people when they saw the turbo!!! Later that nite they held a burnout contest that at the last moument I decided to enter. As I pulled up I got alot of ugly coments about running a slant six. The reason they know I have a six is that I put slant 6 racing stickers on both side windows.Well I must have done something right because after I was done about 20 people follow me to ask me about the car. The one question I liked was ( what is that whisle from? A TURBO!!!! hehehe
It was a lot of fun and I hope that I will be able to go to one of the slant six races soon.

p.s. I will be at cecil county dragway on the 28th to make my First 14 sec. run with a stock engine slant six( hopfully)!!!

Thanks for the up-date, sounds like a fun time.
I always LOVE IT when you can blow some V8 minds with a little "six show"!

You say there were 10 other SL6er out there?!?
I hope you "buttonholed" them all, at least told them to check-out the web site(s) or get in touch with the SSRN.
We can never have to many "Slanted" people in the group!
